Potential costumes and props

For our film we were considering using a little girl in a red coat. This is because we think the colour red signifies danger, and in a horror film this makes things even scarier for the audience. It’s also a huge contrast for the audience as a little girl in a red coat seems very cute and innocent, and as it’s a horror the audience will know that something will happen to her.

Colour coding is very important in any film production for example, in a horror film there would stereotypically be low key lighting and dark colours, and this sets the mood for the audience helping understand our message.

Also for our film we are considering using a man in a black woolly hat. The mise en scene, colour coding this hat gives the character a mysterious and scary persona, it also gives the impression he has something to hide.
